Hello World!

Hi!

I'm Annabanana (really, everyone named Anna becomes, at some point in their life, Annabanana).
I am a dedicated Mama (to Zen), wife (to El Cultivador Calliente) and homemaker. I also work as a Massage Therapist and run a small handmade jewelry business called Hawaiian Magpie. We'll get into why it's called Hawaiian Magpie later.

I love life. Like, ferociously. I've been blessed with circumstances that have helped me to cultivate this joy throughout my life and continue to motivate my pursuit of all things lovely and of good report and praiseworthy ( do you get that reference? Good! It's one of the main tenets of my personal belief system. We can get into that later, too, if you wish)

What I'd really like to talk about (alphebetized) are:

Business. You know, I'm in the business of life, and to keep business stuff out of my posts would be ignoring a big chunk of my projects, milestones and life.

Happiness. I have found that dwelling on happy events, ideas and viewpoints makes a fertile breeding ground for more of those same things.

Methods. When I learn how to do something well I just want to share and strut just a little bit.

Projects. I'm always working on some project, and telling other people about it really enhances my enjoyment of it, especially when divulging sparks ideas for other people.

P.S. sometimes the lighting in my bathroom makes me feel like a rockstar
